Anyone know if extensions will be included

I was just thinking about the planned guide for Modern Times (ages 12-14); will this have extensions for grade 9 (suitable for high school credit)?

From the classic set: Hist. Fic-Little House in the Woods (We simply could not pass this one up, with our love for all things Little House...) Fantasy-Charlotte's Web From the boy set: Bio-Squanto (They loved this....and learned a lot about being fair/just) Adventure-Sword in the Tree Mystery-The Ke...

Carrie plans to release a guide each year until the history cycle is complete.

You can find the plan at the bottom of this page:

Here is some info Carrie discusses about the book: http://www.heartofdakota.com/preparing- ... hild-world

Ch 1-3 are omitted from the reading schedule.

I will be using extensions with Bigger for my DD9 next year. I happened to come across the book with the test and answer key at a used book sale. Would you recommend using the test? I have never tested the children in the past. She will be reading the book on her own. I was thinking, it might be goo...

Thanks! How exciting, to have a glimpse into the guide. I have our future planned out using HOD and we haven't even started HOD yet...can't wait until the fall to start Bigger!

I think they will coincide nicely. The only consideration is your future plans once your youngest is ready for Bigger...what will your oldest do...be in Bigger with him (and then what extensions would he use). I understand your dilemma. For the upcoming year, I think your idea is logical. I think yo...

I'm excited for you! We haven't started yet, we will be starting Bigger in the Fall. I received my box a couple months ago, it is so hard to wait.

Look at Tot School Tot Trays...a blog a mom writes with ideas to occupy young children....her ideas will inspire you (they did for me)!

Thank you for all the advice!

Yes, it does. Thank you. My DD sounds very much like your child that you described!

MY DD 9 is reading our first DITHOR book and desperately wants to read ahead of schedule. I told her I would ask all of you, for your advice. If she reads ahead we won't be able to get all of the daily discussions/wksts done. At the same time, I want her to continue enjoying the book. She is quite a...

I am so happy for you and your family. We, too, will be starting Bigger in the fall with a 2nd and 4th grader! Looking forward to the journey!
